Three tangerine toffees there in Alan Ainscow, an excellent player who played in the Anglo Italian trophy triumph In 71 before he'd even played a league game or signed a contract. Soon did though lol
Gary Megson a one season ok manager and Mike Walsh a solid back who spent 5 or 6 seasons at BR.

Ainscow was going to be HK's busy right winger. Unfortunately for the player - though perhaps fortunately for the Club since his ultimate replacement was Trevor Steven - his career was ruined by an injury from an awful challenge from a yard dog called Kilcline in a game at Notts County.

Some talent in those two teams! Johnson, Whittle, Seargeant in the centre of defence, Archie Styles, Billy Kenny (senior), and of course @Dario Terracotta at right back, where he might well have been given the runaround by either Dave Thomas or Steve Kindon. Two good youth set ups for the time.

..as I keep saying, the FA Youth Cup remains an indicator of having talent coming through the ranks, either a truly outstanding individual (Rooney) or a few as was the case here.

Alan Whittle, photographed for the Everton match programme in 1990, when working on the club’s community scheme. His impact in the second half of the 1969/70 season was immense, as we closed in on the title. Uncle of Tom Davies - Alan was to be the next Dennis Law .......
